Please forgive my ignorance but I have looked everywhere for an answer. In the Pipboy items section on the weapons screen, what does the number (0, 25, 50, 75) next to the bullet icon above the DAM/DPS value mean? Is it spread? Thanks in advance.

thats skill needed to use the weapon properly.

Thanks. That would explain why I'm able to use a STR7/75 skill gun at STR6/ 100 skill.

lol you can still use them just more inaccuratly and slower.

notice he said "properly"
